Cricket News: After Rishabh Pant hurt himself in an unexpected vehicle accident, Team India’s acting captain Hardik Pandya made an open statement regarding the impact on the side of the latter. Pant is now being treated at Dehradun’s Max Hospital after suffering several injuries when his automobile collided with a divider on the Delhi-Dehradun highway on December 30.
Hardik Pandya conveyed his thoughts on his teammate’s accident on the eve of the India-Sri Lanka T20I series. Every team player would notice Pant’s absence, the captain said.
“As you can see, what happened is really sad; nobody could have prevented it. We wish him the best as a group. He is constantly in our thoughts and prayers for a quick recovery. He was obviously highly significant. But now that everyone is aware of the current circumstances, many more people have opportunities, according to Pandya, who was quoted by Hindustan Times.
“Due to the type of player Rishabh is, there would have been a significant difference if he had been present. But just now, we must look to the future and go forward, he continued.
In a multi-format series, India takes on the Islanders.
India and Sri Lanka square off in a three-match T20I series, which is followed by three 50-over matches. It’s important to note that Pant’s lacklustre performance in 2022’s white-ball cricket led to his exclusion from both the ODI and T20I squads against the Islanders.
When comparing their head-to-head statistics, the Asia Cup 2022 champions have won eight T20I games whereas the Men in Blue have established their dominance with 17 victories. The Lankan Lions have won on 57 occasions, with 11 matches ending in a draw and one match ending in a tie. Team India has similarly been successful in the 50-over format, gaining a significant lead with 93 wins in 162 games.
